With just a few small printed parts, some 15x15 MakerBeam XL extrusions, you can convert an inexpensive tank chassis into a modular ROS powered rover. The 15x15 extrusions let you slide in 3mm hex nuts anywhere you want to attach a sensor. See the pictures below and visit cattern.com
Next week Friday, August 19, we foresee shipping problems. On this Friday we will do our best to ship orders that are in before 11.00 o'clock CET. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee anything since our street will be blocked in the afternoon. The Vuelta will start in Utrecht this year and the first race is set to take place right in front of our doorstep. Normally we aim to ship your order before 14.00 o'clock CET when in stock, ordered and paid before this time.
Prices have gone up especially shipping rates. The change of prices and the change in zoning more reflect the actual cost of shipping.
The GrowCab is designed as a low-cost plant growth cabinet made with ready available materials. The cabinet is created to be used to shorten plant generation times and accelarate the breeding of crops. The cabinet can be flat packed as well. MakerBeamXL was used for the framework of the GrowCab prototype.
The Ant was a successful project. So successful we never got round to make a blog post about it. The project now seems to have run it's course. Some parts have become obsolete and hard to get a hold of. Why highlight it then now? It is a classic good MakerBeam project where MakerBeam is used to frame items that are (or were) ready available and custom 3D printed items.
